Best value Laptop

I did little research about top value laptop. and I looking laptops in $500-$1000 price range. I got several type that match with my criteria, include laptops performance, price, design, after sales service and off course durability. I search laptop with stable multi tasking capability for medium cpu load software and game. here are the laptops :


Acer AS5745G-7671 15.6-Inch Laptop - Black
First think i like from this laptop is excellent battery with 6 cell (4400 mAh)5hrs 20mins running in standard setting , comfort keyboard to use with full number pad on the right side. clear and bright 15.6 HD widescreen display provide more visual area for work with. Intel Core I3 processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 420 Graphic with 1 gb memory and 4 gb RAM make this machine powerful enough for most software and game. With NVIDIA Optimus technology you get great battery life and performance whether you're watching a video, surfing the web, or playing a 3D game. GPU-accelerate the editing of your photos and HD videos and push the limits of your web experience with the new generation of GPU-accelerated browsers like Internet Explorer 9.
this thing quite stable to use in couple hours with out any problem (but i recommend to use laptop lap/extra cooler. i don't impress with 1.3mb webcam but it's just optional for me because i don’t really need it anyway. Plays games pretty fast in normal settings. boots up quite fast(maybe because i don't have that much stuff in it). ok here are the feature :
• 15.6-inch HD widescreen CineCrystal LED-backlit display
• 2.4 GHz Intel Core i3-370M dual-core processor
• 500 GB SATA hard drive
• 4 GB of installed DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz)
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M with 1 GB of dedicated DDR3 video memory
• 8x SuperMulti DVD±R/RW drive
• 1.3-megapixel HD webcam
• Stereo speakers with third-generation Dolby Home Theater audio enhancement technologies
• Wireless-N Wi-Fi
• Multi-Gesture Touchpad
• Multi-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader
• 4 USB ports
• HDMI high-definition audio/video output
• Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
• Get more features with Windows Anytime Upgrade.
• Acer Backup Manager Software
• 6-cell lithium-ion battery (4400 mAh)
• Weight: 5.72 pounds

My score:
Performance : 88
Design : 90
Price : 82
Feature : 83




Dell Inspiron 1545 15.6-Inch Laptop
The Inspiron being there low end range for consumers that just need a standard laptop. I like sound of this laptop I think it's better than other laptop with integrated sound chips, but this performance also provide by good internal speaker. other thing that I like is soft big comfort keyboard tuts. and one of the best keyboard from value laptop that I’ve try to use. but this keyboard not included number pad at right side. the touch pad has fine finish with "glossy" look.
fair to say that this machine perform very well. multitasking with regular home application done well. At high setting battery life only in 1H 13" with full screen brightness. it is low if I compare with other value laptop with similar price and specification.
Overall, a very good home entertainment experience for a value laptop. and one thing that I like it most is this laptop not come with common black/white/sliver color it's beautiful ice blue. I love it.
product feature :
- intel Dual core T4400
- 3 Gb memeory
- 640 gb harddrive 5400 rpm
- 15.6 high definition led display
- windows 7 premium

My score:
Performance : 89
Design : 81
Price : 83
Feature : 85



Lenovo Ideapad G560 0679-4TU 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)
this laptop performance is quite good for running everyday application and multi tasking but heavy gaming is horrendous on this thing. Face recognition software is useless so don’t let you get closer to your laptop. some people complain this laptop for low volume internal speaker. but if you have plan to use external speaker you can denied this think.
this laptop powered by Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 processor with feature :
• Intel® Core™ i5 processor
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
• Lenovo Energy Management 5.0 enables extended battery life, long-term battery durability and lower noise output through dynamic fan control
• 15.6 inch high-definition LED backlight display, 16:9 widescreen
• HD graphics support and HDMI output
• High-performance multimedia: 4GB DDR3 memory and 320GB HDD storage
• DVD reader/writer
• Integrated high-speed WiFi
• Numeric keypad for easier data logging and gaming
• Integrated web camera

this laptop is suitable for college student or people with limited budget. this laptop are fine for small office home office work. but for heavy software and video rendering you have think twice before buy this thing.

My score:
Performance : 82

Gaming Laptop

I love play PC games usually i play on my powerfull desktop. but now my mobility getting higgher so i guest i need a laptop, powerfull laptop for gaming so i start to find a good laptop faor gaming. i go to many site and forum to find out which laptop is good enough for my purpose. and finally i figure out that are 2 series that match with my criteria Asus G73JW Republic of game series or Toshiba Qosmio 505 series.

Asus G73JW series
It's powerfull laptop almost as good as my desktop it's powered by  i7-740QM (1.73GHz Quad-Core with Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz),  RAM (DDR3 1333MHz), 2GB x 4 SODIMM Sockets, up to 16GB, Nvidia GTX 460M Graphics with 1.5GB GDDR5, GB HDD; Super Multi Optical Drive; 802.11 b/g/n; 1x USB 3.0 port, 3x USB 2.0; Gigabit LAN; VGA and HDMI out

Asus G73W Designed well with amazing performance for fast game and entertainment. this machine be able to handle many task at the time. Graphic performance is outstanding for a laptop it's produce high FPS on common game with medium resolution. It's 4.3 stared laptop and 10 best selling laptop at amazon. it's about $1.449,00
but i think it's reasonable for high performance gaming laptop.
Score from me :
Performance : 92
Design          : 83
Price             : 80
Feature         : 85



Toshiba Qosmio X505
Toshiba Qosmio 505 is gaming laptop in toshiba laptop line it's powered by Intel Core i5-460M Processor 2.53 GHz (2.80 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology), 3MB L3 Cache, Configured with 4GB DDR3 1066MHz (max 8GB) 2 main memory slots. Both slots occupied, 500GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard disk drive with TOSHIBA Hard Drive Impact Sensor (3D sensor), DVD SuperMulti drive supporting 11 formats, 18.4" diagonal widescreen TruBrite TFT display at 1680 x 945 native resolution (HD) with native support for 720p content, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M with 1.5GB GDDR5 discrete graphics memory,  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a 12 cell/48Wh Lithium Ion battery pack; Battery Life


this laptop produce good performance in common game but for heavy game it's beaten buy Asus G73JW. this laptop be able to handle multi task operation as well but it's not give performance as asus Gj3W. it's not strang because asus use intel I7 platform processor with 8 gb Main memory , toshiba commio still use I5 processor with 2 gb memory. it's my second option, this product is cheaper and use wider screen. talk about graphic card toshiba qosmio 505 and Asus G73JW it's equal. but like i said before asus processor and memory more powerful then toshiba qosmio so in heavy game cosmio beaten nby asus on FPS (Frame Persecond) performance even it's not to significant number.

core from me :
Performance : 86
Design          : 84
Price             : 90
Feature         : 85

For me Asus it first option. $340 spare between them, biut I7 Processor and 6 GB more memory it's worth for me, but this is just my opinion, based on hardware spesification and game performance.
